Overview
Dan Bristow is a Professor of Practice, leading the Wales Centre for Public Policy’s innovation and engagement activities to synthesise and mobilise research evidence for Welsh Ministers and public service leaders
As Co-I and Director of Policy and Practice at the WCPP he has helped to establish an award-winning, demand-led approach to mobilising research evidence. This has involved designing and delivering a model that supports Welsh Government Ministers, and public sector leaders to access, understand and use the best available evidence.
